Thread matters. There are many reasons we call it “Sashiko Thread”.
☆
Some Sashiko beginners think that any kind of thread is good for Sashiko. It is true that a stitcher can use any kind of thread – the cheapest thread from a mass-produced chain company or a thread she/he had in a drawer for a long time. However, the appropriate thread makes a huge difference in both the beautiful result & smooth process of stitching. There are many reasons why we call it “Sashiko Thread”. (

You may feel that the “Sashiko thread” we offer is expensive. Yes, it is not cheap. However, the price range of our thread starts about $8.00 (for 100 meter) and $13.00 (for 145 meter) to $30.00 (hand-dye & One of a kind). They are LARGE. When we do simple math, our thread costs $2.00 per 25 meters, and $1.90 per 20 meters. I believe we offer competitive pricing. Sashiko requires a lot of thread, especially if you follow the Sashiko we practice. We have more than 30 years of experience in Sashiko, and we can say with confidence – Thread matters.
